With the advancements in cosmetic treatments it is getting really hard to guess the age of a woman nowadays. Women in their 60’s now look like the women who used to be in their 40’s generations ago.

Botox – is it for you?

A combination of Botox and a healthy diet has enabled these women to look young, while there are also some men who have undergone these non-invasive cosmetic procedures involving Botox to look young.

The overall health and well-being of a person depends on many factors, of which your lifestyle and diet are two major factors. Drinking a lot of alcohol or smoking a lot of cigarettes can have a bad effect on your appearance and health. Hence, if a person does not lead a lifestyle that is considered healthy, they are more likely to develop wrinkles on their face and look older, and this becomes even more apparent after a person goes into their 40’s. So after that, Botox injections are the only non-surgical way to help reduce these wrinkles and aging lines.

Botox injections can make these wrinkles fade away by telling the nerves in the affected areas to stop overworking themselves and relax. These results do not last forever but are very impressive, with the average time for the effects of Botox to run out being 3-6 months, depending on the wrinkles. Botox treatments are also not covered by health insurance providers so the money you pay to get these treatments is from your own earnings. Here are some tips to give you the best bang for your buck.

Botox injections can only be given by licensed doctors, although there have been many reports of some clinics that allow unlicensed people, who lack the training, to administer these treatments. Also, even if your doctor has a legitimate license, you should review their history so as to know what are the results of the work that they have done in the past. This can be done by reviewing the websites of these clinics, and there you can also find which of their doctors does the best work.

The costs of Botox treatment is not covered by medical insurance, and the costs of these treatments vary at different clinics. The important thing is to know what price your clinic offers beforehand and compare it with the prices offered by other clinics, to make sure you get the best deal. Also, you should note that better results are not guaranteed by higher prices.

After you have done all of this, i.e. checking out the best price and which doctor is the most skilled to perform the procedure, you should consider the risks associated with this procedure, with the worst possibility being that you suffer nerve damage in an area of your face which is irreversible. If you feel that the benefits outweigh the risks for you and that the doctor you have chosen is skilled enough, then you should proceed.
